Crane IGI-IT YEARS AGO, a chubby, grinning little urchin made his first appearance in our hallowed halls. Now he's leaving. He still doesnit exactly have that glean and hungry look and everyone will testify that the grin is still there. Nick Friendly has an instinctive sense for the comical and ridiculous which is unparalleled among his classmates. Life is a gay experience for Nick and all those who are fortunate enough to be around him. Mr. McGrath, who makes his living by teaching St. Albans boys to be good readers of his- tory,,' is constantly astounded at Nick's ability to make this sometimes mundane task a real joy. To help things move along at a more lively clip, Nick has devised an elaborate system for pronouncing the names of the men of history and I 2 he cannot be persuaded to deviate from it. His political views 'EEA' vary widely from day to clay, and when classmates open their XXV I 0 mouths to say something, they never know whether Nick will ' ' be disagreeing violently or hissing Yess, yessln f I, A Nick's serious moments are few, and they come mostly I ,ijt when, racquet in hand, he walks onto a tennis court to uphold l the honor of St. Albans School, he has made good use of fair Sl his family court and is no pushover for any high-school YJ Y, rf U opponent.

MARK MELCALF HALLER Born: October 9, 1945, Washington, D. C. Entered St. Albans: Form IV Activities: 'News', IV, V, VI, Government Class, V, VI, Student Council, VI, Prefect, VI, Bicycle Club, IV, V Awards: ferusalem Cross, VI, StA-3 Wrestling, IV Special Interests: Politics, outdoor life, music, Russia, tropical fislv College: Harvard Barry, I-Ialloos A conservative government is an organized lrypocrisyf, cc -Benjamin Disraeli ow TAKE IT EASY, Mr. Fuller. just because Canon Martin has disbanded the 'News' is no reason to get excited. Don't get shookf' And thus, Mark Haller, Editor-in-Chief of The St. Albans News, consoles the faculty adviser in face of the great disaster. With this casual manner Mark triumphed against the many problems which confronted him during his editorship. He laughed off the consistent, panicked rumors that he was not going to be allowed to keep his post. Often he worked until the small hours of the morning on deadlines without showing noticeable ehcects, and the iNews' did come out-come out well. Mark occasionally stuck to the rule about going to Troop 19-a singular dedication in view of his other labors. Nor has his academic work suffered, at the midyears, h he stood comfortably in the top quarter of the class. Markls other main activity is Government Class. As the X Everett Dirksen of the Conservative Party, he is one of the - X three or four most powerful and influential members of the J X Class. The unusually good showing of the Conservatives this . I N V 53' 1' J year can be attributed to his work last year at organizing a machine among the Lower Formers. The most iitting tribute to Mark came at the beginning X Q of the second semester when Canon Martin decided that he -- X A should be installed as a Prefect-a testimony to the confidence X ix that the School as a whole has placed in Mark.
